Chapter 159 Swallowing the Power of the Abyss (Additional chapter for the -yuan reward for "Izayoi Must Come from Another World")
"I'm here to find Du Lin's heart. I have some business to do."

After thinking about it, Wang Hao decided to tell the truth, but of course he didn't mention the matter of devouring power.
Just say that you came here specifically to find Du Lin’s heart.

After all, his actions just now were clearly intended to touch the heart, so there was no point in denying it.

It's impossible that he came here while taking a walk.

"Are you looking for Du Lin's heart?" Albedo frowned slightly and looked at Wang Hao, "Are you here with teeth too?"

"Teeth, what teeth?" Now it was Wang Hao's turn to be confused.

“Isn’t it?” Albedo saw Wang Hao’s reaction and thought he must have guessed wrong, but he still explained, “Although most of Durin’s heart has been petrified, it still contains powerful power. If you bring Durin’s fallen teeth or other materials here, you can use the heart to activate the properties of these materials. They are the materials for making advanced weapons, so there have always been powerful adventurers coming here.”

[I see. This is how the Dragon Spine Spear came about.]

[This is the last warmth that Du Lin leaves for this world. ]

[The dragon's tooth may not be Durin's, it may also be Tevarin's.]

[Tevarin bit through Durin's neck and killed him.]

【…】

Now Wang Hao understood that he was not the first one to come looking for Du Lin’s strength.

Not to mention being the first, you might not even be able to get a number.

"I'm not here to activate the material."

Wang Hao first denied this statement, then quickly reorganized his words in his mind and explained:

"The last time the Wind Dragon attacked Mondstadt, I fought it off with a blond traveler.

During the battle, I broke a filthy crystal on it. Later, I collected some of these crystals and found that they were somewhat useful to me.

I looked up the information and found that the filthy crystals might be condensed from Durin's poisonous blood, so I came here to look for Durin's remains."

"The Wind Dragon? Oh, Tevarin, the Dragon of the East Wind."

Albedo nodded slightly, as if he believed what Wang Hao said.
"Tvarin and Durin did fight, and Durin was killed by Tvarin. Then Tvarin disappeared. I think it was the poisonous blood you mentioned that affected it."

After a pause, Albedo continued, "As Durin's brother, I don't want anyone to hurt it. But whether subjectively or passively, it did bring disaster, so I won't stop it from being taken."

As he spoke, he stared at Wang Hao, as if trying to see something: "Du Lin's poisonous blood should belong to the power of the abyss, with a strong corrosive ability. It is difficult for ordinary people to use this power.

You said it was useful to you. I have my doubts about it, but I won't delve into it any further.

In short, if you are sure that what you are going to do will not affect its foundation, then you can continue.

But if what you are about to do could possibly shake its final will, then I will stop you."

Albedo's attitude is a bit ambiguous now.

On the one hand, he wanted to see the power of using poisonous blood that Wang Hao mentioned.

On the other hand, he didn't want Wang Hao to shake Du Lin's final will.

Another point is, if Wang Hao can solve Du Lin’s poisonous blood power, can he also solve his uneasy power?

The reason why Albedo set up the laboratory in the snowy mountains was actually because he was worried that he would lose control one day and destroy Mondstadt.

As a creature of gold, he was much more perfect than Durin.

Durin almost knocked Mond down.

Once Albedo loses control, he will be much more terrifying than Durin.

Wang Hao understood part of what Albedo meant, and said to him, "How about this, I'll try it out first, and if something bad happens, you can interrupt me directly. You should have the ability to do that."

It's not that Wang Hao is afraid of Albedo, it's mainly because the other party is really strong, there's no need to fall out over a Durin heart,
It would be fine if he was alone, but he still has Liyue behind him.

It is very unwise to provoke a strong person as an enemy.

The plan proposed by Wang Hao is also in line with Albedo's ideas.

He wanted to see what basis Wang Hao had for claiming that he could use the power of the abyss.

"Yes, but you have to be careful. After Du Lin died, his power was extremely concentrated. The power contained in his heart is very terrifying, and the power represented by the poisonous blood may not be much."

Where does Durin's abyssal power come from?
That was what Rhinedort brought with him after he brought them out of the abyss, as well as certain materials that Rhinedort used.

This is how the terrifying monster was created.

But after the death of these giant beasts, the power of the abyss quickly dissipated without the supply of the main body.

Therefore, Albedo couldn't say how much power Wang Hao needed was left in the heart.

"It's okay. I can feel it."

Wang Hao nodded at Albedo. Not much?

According to the appetite coming from the depths of the soul, no matter how little it is, it is at least twice as much as the resentment of the demon I encountered for the first time.

He walked forward and was about to touch Durin's heart.

Wang Hao suddenly stopped and looked at the shadow under his feet: "Number Three, you come out first."

If something really happens and affects No. 3, it will be bad.

A figure emerged from Wang Hao's shadow.
She knew that she might be a burden here, so she didn't waste any time and just left the cave.

Albedo already knew that there was something in Wang Hao's shadow.

Although the magic of No. 3 was amazing, it couldn't be hidden from him.

But Klee looked at No. 3 with some curiosity, as if she wanted to go over and touch it.

After watching number three go out,
Wang Hao then looked at Du Lin's heart again.

He slowly stretched out his hand and pressed it.

next moment,
The heart, which had almost stopped, suddenly shook.

A powerful force rushed out from the heart.
But Wang Hao was already prepared.
There was a golden flash in his eyes, and the powerful force overwhelmed the resistance of his heart.

"Become a part of me."

With a low roar, the power that was thirsting for in the depths of his soul burst forth with His power.

A trace of profound power was drawn out from Durin's heart.

It has a hint of purple, giving people a charming yet sacred feeling.

Behind Wang Hao, Albedo's eyes flashed, and he immediately stepped back and covered Klee's eyes.

This deep purple power carries an indescribable temptation.

The moment it appeared, Albedo had an urge to snatch it away, but unfortunately, his heart was too strong, and the urge was suppressed as soon as it appeared.

Wang Hao didn't know what Albedo was doing.

His attention was completely attracted by this deep purple power.

"authority…"

Although it was the first time he saw it, Wang Hao could almost confirm that this trace of power was some kind of authority.

Something of the same status as the demon.

Stretch out your right hand and grab the opponent directly.
This time, the deep purple power did not resist.

Instead, it obediently sank into Wang Hao's palm.

next moment,
Wang Hao felt like he was too full.

Even more full than a full stomach,
Deep in my soul I felt full and couldn't eat any more.

And, a strange memory began to emerge in his mind.
It was a dark universe.

Many lives that were not allowed to be born and wishes that could not be fulfilled are floating here.

As a being of the dark universe, I naturally possess an extremely powerful force.

But it has no form, no desire, and no feeling of being needed.

Until one day, my mother's voice reached here.

'Life that cannot be born, wishes that cannot be fulfilled
Wandering in the dark universe, a sad unfulfilled dream

Please use my body to be born in the "real world".'

With a vision for the world, I, from the dark universe, responded to my mother's voice.
'I' came into this world.

Blue sky and white clouds, fresh breeze and rising sun, some people singing, some people cheering,
Ah, the world is so wonderful, I love it here.

The 'me' in my memory feels extremely happy.

But Wang Hao just watched coldly, he knew that happiness could not last forever.

My power is too strong, a blessing from the dark universe,

Wherever the black wings passed, poison gas and acid rain descended like a natural disaster.
Songs turned to wails, cheers turned to tears,
The beautiful dragon bites me,
When the sharp teeth penetrate my throat,

"Goodbye, Mom, my journey is over."

"It's nice to sleep in the snow that glitters like silver."

"Goodbye, beautiful poet, beautiful dragon"

If we could be in different time and place

"How wonderful it would be to meet, sing and dance together"

The dying 'I' thought sincerely.

After reading all the memories, Wang Hao realized that this was the most important memory of Du Lin from birth to death. The mother who brought him into the world,
The poet with the most beautiful voice,
And a beautiful dragon.

As Wang Hao read through his memories, this deep purple power finally obediently merged into the depths of Wang Hao's soul.
Faintly, Wang Hao seemed to hear a child-like voice.

"O strange and respectable great one, the deep blessing that beats in my veins, the beautiful picture of the dark universe where I was born, will be inherited by you!"

……

Powerful, unimaginably powerful.

When this trace of power was consumed, the huge feedback made Wang Hao feel that he could kill a... Tevarin with one punch.

It can't be a cow.

Of course, this was a misjudgment caused by the huge increase in power.

However, Wang Hao was no longer worried about the Wind Demon Dragon.
If I could beat it away before my strength increases, then after it increases, I will be able to defeat it, right?
"From your looks, you should have gained a lot."

Albedo's voice sounded behind Wang Hao.
His gaze passed through Wang Hao's figure and looked at Du Lin's heart, and a trace of heartache appeared in his eyes.

The scarlet light of the originally dazzling heart has become very dim.

Without waiting for Wang Hao to say anything, Albedo stepped forward and started checking.

At the same time, No. 3 also returned to Wang Hao. After confirming that Wang Hao was fine, she disappeared into Wang Hao's shadow again.

In front of outsiders, she was still taciturn, but Wang Hao didn't care.

Watching Albedo checking Durin's heart, Wang Hao felt a little embarrassed for making his brother like this.

Wang Hao was feeling a little embarrassed, so he could only pick up the little Loli, teasing Klee while observing Albedo's expression.

After a while,

Albedo stood up, revealing a trace of disbelief: "The high-level power in the origin has been drained away, but Durin's remaining consciousness is more relaxed, as if there is less burden. It's simply... magical. How did you do it?"

Wang Hao held Klee in his arms and shook his head at Albedo: "I don't know either. It's probably instinct."

【What an instinct. 】

[I am also very curious, what can devour the remains of the demon god and the authority of the abyss? ]

[That purple thing just now must be the source of power that the abyss gave to Durin.]

[That should be the case. The status of the Abyss is very high, so Wang Hao can devour it. ]

[I understand. I can only swallow high-level things. Wang Hao doesn't care about low-level energy.]

[How much stronger has Wang Hao become in this wave? 】

[It looks like a big commotion. We didn't notice him consuming the power of the demon god before, but this time it made such a big commotion, he must have become much stronger.]

【…】

The barrage of comments is flooding the screen.

Albedo took a deep look at Wang Hao and said, "Perhaps... you need a physical examination?"

Physical examination?

Wang Hao was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"

"Your situation is somewhat similar to mine. We both have some powers that we can use but cannot sort out. A comprehensive examination will help you understand yourself."

"This..." Wang Hao was somewhat tempted.

He really needs to understand himself better. If there is something that can quantify his strength, then, even if it may not be very accurate, it would be a very good way.

However, Wang Hao was also worried that his information would be leaked.

"Is Albedo trustworthy?" Wang Hao asked the comments in his heart.

【worth.】

【worth.】

【Albedo is a good person. 】

[Albedo seeks knowledge. You can regard him as a pure but not crazy scholar. ]

[Indeed, chalk is much more reliable than gold.]

【…】

The barrage gave the answer.

Wang Hao then raised his head and looked at Albedo: "Can the data be kept confidential?"

"Of course. If you don't want me to see you, I can teach you how to use the testing equipment. After you're done, just share with me some of the data you're willing to share."

Albedo's attitude surprised Wang Hao.
He suddenly understood why the comments said that Albedo was reliable.

The other person not only has high IQ, but also high EQ.

He saw through Wang Hao's concerns at a glance and gave a very broad context.

"That's fine, I trust you."

Albedo showed kindness, and Wang Hao was willing to return the kindness.

Of course, the main reason was that he had just swallowed a trace of power and authority and was still digesting it. He would be in a period of rapid growth for a long time to come.

Some data tested today may not be usable tomorrow.
If I maintain a good relationship with Albedo, maybe we can reach more cooperation in the future and I can come to him for help at any time.

According to the comments in the barrage, Albedo is a very powerful person, and it would not be a wrong thing to make friends with him.

The real strategy is to make more friends and fewer enemies.

The two discussed for a while, and then left the cave.
Before leaving, Albedo set up a barrier seal here.
According to him, the reason why he didn't stop him before was because Du Lin's heart was very strong. Now his heart has been drained by Wang Hao. Although Du Lin's consciousness is fine, his heart needs to recover.

So it was sealed.

Leaving the Sleeping Dragon Valley,
Sure enough, Albedo’s laboratory camp was very close, in fact, just above the Sleeping Dragon Valley, overlooking the entire Sleeping Dragon Valley.

No wonder I was discovered so quickly by the other party. He saw through it at a glance.

Back to the lab,
Albedo immediately got busy.

He assembled one strange instrument after another.

But Wang Hao couldn't understand these instruments and could only play with Keli on the side.

In the field of alchemy, Wang Hao might not be as good as Klee.

He had only been exposed to the supernatural for four years, but he had completed the training of martial arts and the study of runes, which was already very impressive.

Although alchemy is somewhat related to runes, it is more about the transformation and reaction of matter and energy. More advanced ones will also involve other fields such as mechanics and biology.

This is a very large and profound subject.
Wang Hao wanted to study, but he really didn't have the time.

Albedo was busy for more than half an hour before he prepared more than a dozen instruments.

"You come to this one first." Albedo pointed to the instrument that looked like a hibernation chamber, "This is a life energy detection instrument. It can evaluate your life level based on the quality and quantity of life energy."

[Is this probably the character level in the game? ]

[I think so. I don’t understand.]

【I don't understand it at all.】

【…】

The comments were full of confusion, and Wang Hao didn't understand either, but he lay down obediently.

This thing should be an integrated energy drive, with no external interface.
After Wang Hao lay down, a slight tingling sensation spread throughout his body.

The instrument should be running.

Ten minutes later, the numbness faded away.

Wang Hao asked: "Is it OK?"

"Okay." Albedo replied.

"How is it? What's the result?" Wang Hao came out of the testing chamber and asked curiously.

Albedo looked at Wang Hao with a strange look in his eyes: "Are you really a human?"

"What do you mean?" Wang Hao was stunned.

Albedo pointed to the location of the instrument display screen and said: "Your life energy level is terrifying. As far as I know, among the humans, only Grand Commander Falga is slightly stronger than you, but only slightly."

Wang Hao looked in the direction of his finger and saw a number on the instrument display: "What does this 120 mean?"

"Your life energy level has reached level 120, with a deviation of no more than 5." Albedo replied, "This has exceeded the physiological limit of humans."

Wang Hao's eyes widened: "You just said that the captain is better than me."

Falga, Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, was famous for his strong physique.

"Grandmaster... I cannot comprehend how powerful he is, just as I now doubt whether you are a pure-blooded human."

Glancing at Wang Hao, Albedo pointed to another instrument and said, "But we can test it again. This instrument is a replica of my teacher's. My teacher has done a very in-depth study of life. If you really have the blood of other extraordinary species, perhaps we can detect it."

Wang Hao didn't hesitate and lay down directly.
This time the feeling is better than the previous test,

There was almost no discomfort, and after more than ten minutes, Albedo announced that the test was over.

"You are not a human being."
